If the peace talks are really going to succeed, then they really have to listen to that boy Zu Yingyuan's bad idea and ask his father-in-law, Mr. Gu, to take the old man from Jinchuan to Huguang for a trip. He, as his son-in-law, will cover all the expenses.
But until the last moment, this strategy is not advisable.
After all, it hurts the vitality of the country too much.
It is always difficult for one's moral conscience to make a place rotten and ruin people's lives for the sake of selfish interests.
Moreover, if not done properly, Yang Xiuqing can really be created.
There is never a shortage of people in this world who dare to think and act, but there is only a shortage of opportunities.
The key point is that Marshal Jia's new army has not even shown up. If Yang Xiuqing really shows up, his consort may jump into the river from time to time like Zeng Guofan did.
Although I can swim, I can dive dozens of meters with a strong move, and I can hold my breath for a minute, but that is so tiring.
This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, and at least it must have the support of the president and vice president.
These two old comrades have decades of experience in officialdom struggles, so they can patch up the last resort.
After returning from Chongqing, Jia Liu did not go back to Chengdu directly, but took a trip to Luzhou.
The 500 farmers' children recruited by the president were placed in Luzhou Green Camp. These 500 farmers' children were the core of Jia's new army.
However, because he does not have the power to rectify the Green Camp, Jia Liu is now unable to formally establish a new town, that is, Jinchuan Town directly under the admiral.
Therefore, these 500 new troops can only be placed in the Luzhou Green Camp in the name of "recruiting battalion troops" for the time being.
The Luzhou Green Camp was not the main force of the Sichuan Green Camp. There were only 1,200 garrison troops, and the garrison was Wang Sixi, a disciple of the Eight Banners who was a member of the Communist Party of China.
This Wang Sixi is also Jia Liu's old buddy.
He is loyal and can settle accounts, but his disadvantage is that he is just like the consort and cannot fight.
Being loyal is enough.
The following generals, commanders, sentry officers, and other officers are all members of the same group. They are by far the purest members of the garrison camps in all Sichuan prefectures, except for Fu Biao.
After giving the order, I dare not say that there is no problem in bombarding the Forbidden City and surrounding the Governor's Mansion.
When he learned that the Admiral had arrived, Wang Sixi warmly welcomed him. He held a banquet in the best restaurant in Luzhou City and invited the best players in the city to welcome the Admiral and relax.
"Have I told you earlier that no matter where I go, I will serve four dishes and one soup. Don't be extravagant or wasteful. It's all about the people's wealth. If we eat more, the people will have to eat less!"
The admiral was obviously very unhappy with Wang Shoubei's reception, so he didn't say a few words during the meal.
After eating, I was still unhappy, picking my teeth and making a face.
"grown ups,"
Wang Sixi tactfully said that a place for the Admiral to rest has been arranged, and it is the best building in Luzhou.
"It's too much, it's too much!"
Jia Liu looked at Wang Sixi angrily and said not to engage in such messy things in the future. The Qing Dynasty law strictly prohibited officials from having prostitutes. How should he explain to the court and his wife at home?
"I have something important to do today, so I won't go. I'll just cash it in."
Jia Liu had a serious look on his face, "It's not for me, it's for Huili. It's a warning to you. If you dare to make such random arrangements next time, you won't do this guarding."
After that, I asked Sixi which wine shop is the best in Luzhou.
I replied that it was the Wen family in the east of the city.
"Then go to Wen's house."
The admiral wiped his face with a towel and led a large team to the old Wen family. This made the old Wen family extremely excited. It was really flattering and flattering.
After learning that the Admiral wanted to see the production process of Luzhou wine, Boss Wen quickly took the Admiral into the production site of his Laojiao wine and explained it to the Admiral himself.
"Our city of Luzhou thrives on wine, and the wine is named after the city. Daqu wine has been brewed since the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties."
Boss Wen spoke carefully, while the Admiral kept nodding his head with his hands behind his hands. After a while, he walked away without saying anything.
This made Boss Wen very puzzled, and he quickly asked the accompanying Admiral Wang Shoubei what the purpose of coming to his house was.
Wang Sixi, who had already received the order, said happily: "My lord, what you mean is that from now on, the Laojiao Daqu produced by your family will be the designated wine for Green Camp in Sichuan Province."
"Designated wine?"
Boss Wen didn't quite understand this.
"From now on, I, Sichuan Green Camp, will use your wine whether it is for military use, hospitality, or banquets. The price will not be unfair to you."
Upon hearing this good thing, Boss Wen immediately beamed with joy. His wine has really become the designated wine of Green Camp, and the sales scale will be huge.
To express my gratitude to the Admiral, I immediately presented him with a banknote of three hundred taels as a token of my gratitude.
However, Wang Shoubei didn't even look at the three hundred taels, and directly told Boss Wen that the admiral wanted to join his family's business.
Boss Wen is a businessman, and he has made some calculations in his mind. If his own wine can monopolize the military supply of Green Camp, the sales volume will at least increase several times. If the Admiral becomes a shareholder, no one will dare to cause trouble to his family in the future.
It was a good deal no matter how I calculated it, so I asked Admiral Wang Shoubei how many shares he wanted to buy.
"From now on, the Admiral will take half of the profit from your family's wine sales."
""
Boss Wen thought to himself that the Admiral was really evil, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.
On behalf of the Admiral, Wang Sixi signed a formal agreement with Boss Wen. After it was implemented in black and white, he reported to the Admiral.
"Is it done?"
"It's done!"
Jia Liu showed a satisfied smile. There are currently dozens of military supply units designated by him, but they are mainly concentrated in the funeral industry. In the consumer industry, Wen's Liquor Shop is still the first one.
Liquor is very profitable and has a large scale. If we don’t develop the resources in front of us, we would be sorry for ourselves.
He also asked Lieutenant General Li Ping'an to discuss the purchase with the Wen family, and then went back to the governor's Yamen to report the accounts.
After finishing this matter, Luzhou Song Prefecture sent someone to give gifts to the admiral.
"What's going on with this prefect, giving me money so blatantly?"
Jia Liu was unhappy and asked bodyguard and thug Yang Yuchun: "Is it possible that I have the word "corrupt official" written on my face?
Yang Yuchun shook his head: "How could you be a corrupt official? Your Excellency hates corrupt officials the most!"
"Hey, yes,"
Jia Liu nodded, "How much did he send?"
Yang Yuchun looked at the gift list and said: "Three thousand taels of silver, a golden Buddha, two jade branches, and two beauties."
"Nonsense!"
Jia Liu's face suddenly darkened, "A high-ranking magistrate, an official of the imperial court, who doesn't know how to make decisions for the people, actually flatters the superior official, and bribes me with the people's wealth and anointing, how unworthy is it!"
Yang Yuchun was convinced: "Then I'll go and return the things."
"that,"
Jia Liu waved his hand, "Take the silver and the golden Buddha. The beauty goes back and tells the woman surnamed Song to give her a discount of five thousand taels each and send it to me tomorrow morning."
After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Xiao Chunzi might misunderstand and did not have enough time to explain, "You know, I am short of money now. Rather than letting corrupt officials get the money, it is better to use it to serve the Qing Dynasty."
"Um"
Yang Yuchun, who was already sixteen years old, looked at the gift list and then at the adults. He really couldn't think of any words to describe the adults, so he had to say: "The adults are wise!"
